It’s not funny when it hurts

A poem about my views of pranks

Pranks
An unusual tightrope
Some are funny
Others not

Some pranks can leave
Physical and Emotional scars
And few if any
Ever heal

Other pranks ruin lives
Betraying trust in each other
And labeling you
As a bully

For me, a prank
Should make everyone laugh
Even the dupe
To some degree

So if you’re a prankster
Let me give you some advice:
It’s not funny
When it hurts
